The Thirsty Merchant

Fun happy hour spot on weekdays from 2-7pm.

The food and beer was great. Mid-day is less busy!

Recommendation: Try visiting on a calm weekday early evening—enjoy the outdoor games, solid menu, and happy hour vibe. If you're catching a game night or big event, book ahead and stay mentally prepared for crowds.

Went here in the past and it was a good spot. Showed up here during business hours and they were just closing. Website hours match Google, but that isn't when they were closing. Please update your hours. If you don't know how to, give me your hours and I'll update them for you.

Great neighborhood bar. Good menu and reasonably priced. Be warned though, during football season this is a die hard Chiefs bar and it gets loud. Lots of TVs so they have all the games from every team each week

Got charged $15 for a single shot of a liquor that’s worth $30/bottle at every liquor store in the country. I understand prices have to include the rent, wages, etc but an 8.5x markup is absurd.

Just a heads up.... MENU CHANGE! the sliders no longer come with fries and the chicken sliders are not how they used to be. no mashed potatoes, no good breading, no spicy sauce. It's a very mediocre slider now for $5 a piece 😳 We used to love the food but will now only be coming for the frozes and patio.

We walked up to the bar to order food, and were ignored. Not returning.

This is a poorly lit bar with pool tables and one barely functional arcade machine. The service on a Saturday night was non existent so I was unable to order anything, not that the method to order was particularly clear. The menu makes it appear that this is a great place to eat, but the dirty outdoor tables would indicate it's not. Now of you WANT to hang out at a dive bar, this place has everything a good dive bar should, but it's pretending to be something it's not. Thanks anyway.

Went in on a Sunday. This is a great sports bar but on chiefs game days it’s a KC chiefs watch party bar. Chiefs fans take up a good portion of inside and outside and the tvs will change to the chiefs game with sound on nearly every TV. Awesome servers, great vibe if you’re looking for a sports bar, some parking but you can always park in the side streets and walk down. I ordered a beer and the giant pretzel. It’s GIANT. Worth it. Nice and salty perfect for that Sunday hair of the dog. Highly recommend.

Entire outside patio was taken over by young kids. There was maybe one adult with at least ten kids playing games. Hardly an adult environment.
